Panzer Paladin is a side-scrolling platformer developed and published by Tribute Games and released for Microsoft Windows through Steam and Nintendo Switch in July 2020. It was later released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June 2024. The player assumes the role of a rescue service android named Flame who pilots a sentient power armor mecha named Grit as the two work together to stop extraterrestrial demonic invaders from conquering the Earth. The game draws inspiration from several NES-era titles including Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Mega Man and Blaster Master.
